Does the handset have a good sound and a heft to it (like a land line handset)?

I like this device and I use it everyday at my desk. However, I am a bit hard of hearing and the sound quality (volume) with the handset is not good enough for me.The handset is good quality and feels like a lower cost (not meaning cheap) telephone.Where I do like this device is having it sit on my desk to charge my iPhone. This device sets the angle correctly so that I can see the phone and who is calling. It is strong enough so that I can press buttons, look up contacts, pictures, etc. while connected to my computer. The angle is adjustable.For the price this is a good value. However, for sound quality (volume) it did not meet my needs. I like this device and I use it everyday at my desk.

Sound is good depending on the distance from the base. Handset is on the lighter side.

My husband didn't like that the connect/disconnect button was where you would hold ythe receiver. Good sound not as heavy as the old land lines.

Sound is adequate, it's not quite as good as new smartphones because it doesn't have noise canceling tech. The handset is solid but not as hefty as the old phones.

This phone is louder than most with good clairity. Also seems to work well with a hearing aid (Does not cause a squeal). I think you will be happy.

I too have hearing problems, and the handset volume is just what I needed. I think you'll love it.

nope, it's a pretty bare bones phone. I wanted a red old fashioned phone for my kitchen. it is perfect for that. the ringer is loud and has a bell-ness about it. it is definitely the phone I remember when I was a kid. the cord is a bit short, I'm in the market for a longer red cord. hope that helps

yes - each handset has a "speaker" button that works just fine. I use it all the time. :)

We have had them a few months and like them to this point. The ringtone is loud enough to be easily heard. We have VOIP and are quite happy with the sound quality both incoming and out going. One of the really neat things is that, even when you are at the farthest distance away from any phone and it/they ring(s), you have a better chance of finding at least one of the four rather quickly. But really, we are happy with the phones so far.

I would say that the sound has average sound quality. It has vibration if that would help.

In actuality the speaker phone was totally defective as the caller could not hear anyone speaking on my end.The sound quality within the handset was adequate despite some echo which was a result of the shape of the handset in my opinion.Hope that helps,Eric

I've had this phone for two years and never had a problem with the sound quality. It's pretty on par with pretty much any other phone I've ever used. Nothing spectacular, but not bad by any means.

yes they are pretty loud!! and you can set different ring tones for each handset..

The sound is good, even on speaker phone. You can use your SIM from another phone unless you had an iPhone SIM. I went from a Samsung Galaxy SII smart phone to this much simpler phone and love it!

I find it very comfortable. Since it has the heft and feel of the old phones, it will get heavy if you hold it for for more than ten minutes. The sound is very clear and the volume is very good.

We have no land line, just cell phones. Overall we like the phones, the caller id works as well as pretty much all the features i can think of altho we have not set up or used the answering system as we just use our voicemail on our phones but the bluetooth has a lag; after answering the phone it takes about 10 seconds of saying hello until it actually connects to the cell phone for the called to hear me.

The volume is excellent on the handsets. It can be adjusted to whichever suits your hearing needs. I am very pleased with the unit. I have had it for 1 1/2 years.

I didn't use it for the calls, but I believe for a call the sound should be okay. But music is no where close to what I expected.

Yes, It may be the best phone for you that you have ever used. I am very hard of hearing and I love this phone.

The sound with a phone is great. I asked the person how I sounded and they said they couldn't tell that I was talking from a headset.
